The UK Border Agency has revoked (withdrawn) London Metropolitan University's license to sponsor students from outside the European Union.
Well, What this means to you as an non EU student/ existing London Metropolitan University student or a new student who is planning to travel to the UK
If you are an existing London Metropolitan University student with a current, valid visa and on holiday outside the UK, then you can return to the UK. London Metropolitan University students who are already in the UK with a current, valid UK visa do not need to do anything immediately. More
significant matter is if you are a new student who is planning to travel to the UK to start studying with London Metropolitan University then
you should not travel.
London Metropolitan University's HTS status was suspended last month while the UK Border Agency (UKBA) examined alleged failings consequently it was revoked (withdrawn) yesterday, meaning thousands of its non EU students may face deportation and the university is stripped of its right to admit non EU students.
